hey this really really helped! i didnt really know how to draw the gestures very well and this helped me so much! i know have the sketch of the figure and i was wondering if i linked back to this tutorial if it would be okay if, when i finish, i could upload it here? either way, thanks so much for the helpful tutorial!

Boo, you hit that nail on the head! This is exactly how I draw. This is great for the newbies and a good refresher for those who need help remembering. It was good how you did it up with different colors too. Really makes it clear.

i love drawing this way. for one, i had two quarters of life drawing with the real (and very naked) deal, and in order to get anything done, you have to draw FAST. so i got rather good at gestures, and decent preportions. it's solod structure and man oh days does it save time and that eraser!!! XD

heh you sketch poses like I do...I love creating weird stick people on the page as I'm starting out 8D This is such a wonderful tutorial Boo!! :3 it's very clear and very easy to understand and read as well 8D also the little illustration you put with it are very visually hlepful 8D I really like the way you colour coded all of the different bits of the body it really helps show how perspective and angles work on the body with a pose like this awesome work!!! :3
